Here is my most recent issue from the headset that I won not too long ago. (Psyko Kryptons) Anybody else have something similar happen to them with one of your own headsets? Or any funny stories to tell about it? haha

When I first saw that residue my initial thought was that you needed to clean the wax out of your ears....j/k

Was any of that cracking on the waveguide due to anything you did, or did it just happen over time?

I was about to offer you a set of gel filled ear covers from an old Dave Clark headset I have but I don't think they would do you much good at this point, that headset looks a bit past it's expiration date

If you see the video, its from how it is on my head. As far as I know, its not too common for people to have cone heads to where the headset wouldn't need to bend to that 90' i was talking about to get it on my head.

No, it hasn't been by anything i did, I treated these puppies like gold! A small crack formed around 4 months, and it just got worse from there. Both sides too.

That stuff works wonders and it's usually around $5. CommonSense "save your pennies"

My bad experience with headphones is I sometimes accidently pull on the wire when I wear them, I've broken them before doing this, so finally I decided to get a set of Sony XB300's which have a thick flat style cable so its alot more durable.
